To round off a trio of Can posts, here's a boot from 2006. These are 1968 demos.

These posts were prepared before the death of Holger Czukay. They now serve as a tribute.

IRMIN SCHMIDT - KAMASUTRA






















Metronome 1969

01. Kamasutra
02. I'm Hiding My Nightingale

After 1968's 'Agilok & Blubbo', the following year saw Irmin Schmidt soundtrack 'Kamasutra'.

This single (the title melody) was released that year, but the full soundtrack wasn't pressed until 2009 and can be found here.

All members of Can feature on this record.

Vogue Schallplatten 1968

01. Agilok & Blubbo
02. Kamera Song


For those of you enjoying the excellent compilation 'The Singles' by Can, here's a couple of nearly Can singles.

Released in July 1968, this single is credited to The Inner Space. Michael Karoli has yet to arrive but Holger Czukay, Irmin Schmidt and Jaki Liebezeit provide the soundtrack to the 1968 German movie of the same name.

The full soundtrack wasn't released until 2009 and can be found here.
